Wet tea bag, WindSparrow.

Unless it's really pureed winter squash, I think you're being too ambitious. You're still in chicken noodle soup and ice cream territory.

P-C, have some mom~ma.

WindSparrow, I hope you can get some pain relief.

I love the stories of how people met/got along on first meeting. I originally met The Girl via a networking site. On meeting her IRL, I fell in love and asked her out immediately, and she took nearly a year to realise I was worth a try. It's a good thing I'm patient (and that my sudden impulses are sometimes lasting ones).

We're going home this morning. I've never been so happy to go back to my snow-covered city in all my life. I think we made progress with The Girl's family in the end, though, which is amazing. It probably involves postponing our civil partnership till the winter, though. Sigh. I am working on gracious acceptance of life's challenges...

Here's hoping the snow doesn't delay our flight too much!

Soft and mushy enough to make me not feel like I have to chew, whereas I can't suppress the urge to chew the noodles.

yay for you Katie bee! Not sure we will be there if it is the 6th, but the other one is one we can try

From wayyy back:

Java, I'm so glad that the rest of your trip improved, and I hope we will get a chance to "meet" next time you are in town.

Yes. We only got the chance to see Jesseh because she lives only blocks from Steve and could be as flexible with the off/on as we needed. Steve is just working so hard right now, and it's so stressful, that I didn't know A)when he'd be home Monday and Tuesday and B) if he'd be up for going out and meeting someone new. So on my last night in Boston, we finally got to see someone other than eachother. And it was a lovely dinner. The more Steve meets Buffistas, and sees how cool and nice they are, the more he is up to meeting new ones. I actually had to remind him that Megan originated as a B.org friend - she's not a "Buffista" to him, she's our drinking/sleepover/slounger amiga.

I bought some sale xmas candy today but I figure if I eat all the green ones first then it's Gryffindor candy.

You could give all the green ones to a Slytherin acquaintance, in the interest of cross-house harmony.

I totally understand, and I hope you know that I wasn't trying to make you feel bad. Next time you're in town, maybe a quiet dinner for four so that your BF isn't overwhelmed by too many new people?

java, did you guys end up going to The Other Side or someplace else?

Happy Birthday, MiracleMan!

and now I adore him, and am pretty certain that he is personally responsible for hanging the moon

Awww. Hi Katie Bee!
